this is gonna be kinda boring in this blog for a while. i am gonna use it to write about the street work going on in front of my shack. the street is being ripped up and dug down and new sewer, water lines, power cables, gas trunk, and everything under the street redone.
the system is 100 years old and needs to be replaced. there are trucks and heavy equipment moving into place as i speak. i guess they were waiting for the new moon and the chinese new year to begin. this is the year of the water dragon. hay! i am a water dragon, myself!!
there was some controversy and hearsay about a delay in the works, cuz one of the companies in this project, which began 2 years ago, has had its license suspended due to corruption and collusion with organized crime.
but i can see the trucks from that company are out there, ready to rumble. it will be a lot of noise and confusion for the next 7-8 weeks. i think the cats and i will be okay. it will be a challenge, but we are ready.
